Gross to the Company's Advisory Board as Head of Alaskan Exploration.

Polar Petroleum's President & CEO, Daniel Walker, commented: "As a newer player in Alaska, we're fortunate to have access to the decades of background that David Gross brings to the table, both in terms of industry know-how and connections.

DAVID T. GROSS – HEAD OF ALASKAN EXPLORATION

David Gross represents a 30-year career as a geologist and a current focus on the North Slope of Alaska doing geologic analyses and petroleum prospect evaluations, most recently in the Hemi Springs-South Prudhoe area.

Mr. Gross began his career at Chevron, USA, working on development geology and exploring Louisiana's outer continental shelf and slope. During this time, he mapped and evaluated 2 newly opened deep-water areas, resulting in Chevron being among the first companies to acquire deep water leasehold positions that later were sites of Lower Tertiary oil discoveries (Perdido Fold Belt).

In 1990, Mr. Gross was assigned to the Cook Inlet of Alaska as its Exploration Area Geologist. After evaluating and thinning Chevron's existing leasehold, he developed and had drilled an exploration prospect on the Kustatan Peninsula.

After he left Chevron in 1992, Mr. Gross became a consulting geologist. In the Cook Inlet, he played a key role in the development of the Sterling Gas Field; the sale of the leasehold over the future Redoubt Shoal Field; the development of the Catcher's Mitt prospect; the acquisition of PERL leasehold ORR royalties in 2009; and the sale of the entire Donkel/Cade Cook Inlet leasehold to Apache in 2010.

Mr. Gross received his degrees from the University of Iowa where he specialized in carbonate geology: B.S. 1980 (Major: Geology) and M.S. 1982 (Geology with Thesis).
